| Reverse description | A large eagle with closed wings stands facing left upon a thunderbolt, its head turned slightly forward, rendered with finely detailed feathering across the breast and folded wings. To the left of the eagle appears the regnal date in Egyptian year notation: L IB (year 12) above the control letter Θ (theta). To the right of the eagle stands the monogram ΠA, identifying the mint officina or control mark. Surrounding the entire design is a circular Greek legend reading ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (of King Ptolemy), inscribed within the beaded border of the coin. The composition follows the canonical reverse type established by Ptolemy I and maintained throughout the Ptolemaic dynasty. |
